[ODYSSEUS]

Alright, my brothers, listen closely Tonight we make the Trojans pay Ten years of war, they killed us slowly But now we'll be the ones who slay Think of your wives and your children Your families wonder where you've been They're growin' old, and yet you're still here Do what I say and you'll see them again

[SOLDIERS]

Yes, Sir

[ODYSSEUS]

Diomedes will lead the charge Agamemnon will flank the guards Menelaus will let our mates through the gates To take the whole city at large Teucer will shoot any ambush attack And Little Ajax will stay back Nestor, secure Helen and protect her Neo, avenge your father, kill the brothers of Hector

[SOLDIERS]

Yes, Sir

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS]

Find that inner strength now (Huh) Use that well of pride (Huh) Fight through every pain now (Huh) Ask yourself inside What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?

[SOLDIERS]

What do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?

[ODYSSEUS]

Penelope, Penelope And Telemachus I fight for us, I fight for us

[SOLDIERS]

What do you live for?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]

Penelope

[SOLDIERS]

What do you try for?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]

Telemachus

[SOLDIERS]

What do you wish for?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]

I'm on my way

[SOLDIERS]

What do you fight for?

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]

Attack!

[ODYSSEUS]

I look into your eyes and I

Think back to the son of mine

You're as old as he was when I left for war

Will these actions haunt my days? Every man I slain?

Is the price I pay endless pain?

Close your eyes and spare yourself the view

How could I hurt you?

I'm just a man who's trying to go home

Even after all the years away from what Ive known

I'm just a man who's fighting for his life

Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife

I'm just a man

But when does a comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze

When does am an become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

When does the reason become the blame?

When does a man become a monster?

[ODYSSEUS & SOLDIERS]

When does a comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze? (Forgive me)

When does a man become a monster? (Forgive me)

When does a man become a monster? (Forgive me)

[ODYSSEUS]

I'm just a man

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ALL]

Six hundred men

Six hundred men under my command

With only one goal in mind

Make it back alive to our homeland

Six hundred men, six hundred miles of open sea

But the problem's not the distance

It's what lies in between

And Ithaca's waiting (Ithaca's waiting)

My kingdom is waiting (The kingdom is waiting)

Penelope's waitin' for me

So full speed ahead, full speed ahead

[EURYLOCHUS, SOLDIERS]

Captain (Eurylochus)

Six hundred men (Six hundred men)

Six hundred men with big mouths to feed

And we've run out of supplies to eat

Curse the war, our food store's deplеted

Six hundred men (Six hundrеd men)

Six hundred reasons to take what we can

So Captain, what's the plan?

Captain, what's the plan?

[ODYSSEUS, SOLDIERS, ALL]

Watch where the birds fly (Watch where the birds fly)

They will lead us to land (They will lead us to land)

There we'll hunt for food, my second in command

Now full speed ahead

[POLITES]

You can relax, my friend

[ODYSSEUS, spoken]

Huh?

[POLITES]

I can tell you're getting nervous

So do yourself a service

And try to relax, my friend

[ODYSSEUS]

I'm fine, Polites

[POLITES]

Think of all that we have been through

We'll survive what we get into

I know that you're tired of the war and bloodshed

Tell me, is this how we're supposed to live Look at how you grip your sword, enough said Why should we take when we could give? You can show a person that you trust them When you stop and lower your guard Here we havе a chance for some adjustment Givе it a try, it's not that hard I'm telling you
